| I took my 95' isuzu rodeo to my local mechanic for new shocks and struts. a few minutes later the mechanic came in the waiting room and said he could not work on the vehicle due to the exessive frame rust and that the car is not safe to drive. he went on to say isuzu is known for rust and has not made efforts to recall thier defective frames. i am now unable to preform the normal routine maintenance needed to prolong the life of my vehicle and investment. this is also a huge saftey risk that isuzu should address. | |||

| A loud noise is coming from the engine, sounds like a rattle when idle-up. i was told that the sound is the result of faulty hydraulic lifters and that the lifters are to small in the 95 models. i also hear rodeos that sound the same way. what i would like to know is how many complaints have you had about this situation and is it being investagated? i also noticed that there are many complaints on your web site about this problem as well as lugs stripping during tire rotations. i already had to replace some. i truly feel that these problems are defaults. i am very disappointed with my vehicle i would never purchase another isuzu and i have not been happy since i purchased it. *la | |||

| The problem with the studs is continuous, any time i have to have my tires rotated or balanced, or front end aligned the service person always informs me that the lugs have broken off with the stud and need to be replaced, which has been very costly and an inconvience. the problem with the horn is whenever the car is washed or it rains the horn start sounding and i have to remove the fuse to stop it . there has never been any front end damage to cause this problem, it just started happening while driving one day and another motorist informed me that my horn was sounding. *ak | |||
